Brasstown bald is a nice diversion on a hot summer day.  It is consistantly cooler than the surrounding hills, and boasts a record high of 84 degrees (which I question).  The view is quite good when the humidity is low, but there is a steady haze over the area as with the Smokies.  The drive to the top is on a very steep grade, and there is an area to park trailers at the entrance.  There is a small fee charged for parking ($3.00 I think I recall).  It is a short but steep hike to the top (or a bus ride if you are so inclined - pun intended).  There is a very nice observation deck and visitor center at the summit.  The geodetic is actually located on the deck (under the stairs).

Below are pictures from the trip (pardon the blurriness of some pics - moisture got into the camera)
